Saw an article this morning about the upcoming game between the Indiana Fever and the Las Vegas Aces.

Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever are set to cap off a five-game road trip on Tuesday against the Las Vegas Aces. Their 9:30 ET matchup will now be held at T-Mobile Arena after ticket demand rose. According to TickPick, the arena's seating capacity expanded by 33% from 12,000 to 18,000 seats.

Sigh.

And there’s a twelve percent chance of that.

Having seen the difference between how my kids learn math and how I did, this is hilarious.

Do you people prefer "math" or "maths"?

Adding the s on the end has always bothered my American brain. The Brits may be right on this, but it still feels wrong.

“Americans call mathematics ‘math’ because they argue mathematics functions as a singular noun, so math should be singular too. Fair enough, Americans. But by the same singular rule, you’re a bunch of asshole.”

This is exactly what I think about now when I hear the word math used. Damnit Jimmy!

Correct! I am positive I read that somewhere in the GIAHORT bylaws and covenants.
